Re: Measuring the veil

A problem this specific, I wouldn't necessarily blame it on appearance mods. Have you tried it with no mods at all? Just move your merged mod folder out of the game folder (personally, I delete it then restore it when I want it put back 😛 ) and change the package.mft file with notepad, increasing the version number by one (it should be version 12, so you'll be increasing it to 13. If your version number is lower than 12, you don't have all the patches installed, so be sure to update the game). This is so you can load your save. Remember to change package.mft when you put your mod folder back.

While you have the mod folder out of your game folder, you may as well do a repair of the game (doesn't take too long). Just right click the game in Origin and select 'repair game'. I don't recommend doing this while the mod folder is in place, it might get deleted or things may go wonky.

If none of that helps, please provide a dxdiag. 🙂

I dont quite understand. Can you pls write it step by step?

I'm assuming you mean the mod part?

1. Go to ...Program Files/Origin Games/Dragon Age Inquisition/Updates.

2. Find your merged mod folder. The default name is Patch_ModManagerMerge

3. Remove the merged mod folder from the Update folder. You can do this by deleting it (so you can later put it back by using 'restore' in the recycle bin) or just moving it elsewhere, like your desktop.

4. In Origin, right click Inquisition and choose 'Repair game'. Wait until it finishes with all content. It might take a little while, depending on the speed of your computer.

5. When the repair has completely finished (it will go through all DLC, including Multiplayer and digital deluxe content after the main game), again in the Update folder from step 1, open the Patch folder.

6. Right click 'package.mft' and choose 'Open with...', select notepad from the list of programs.

7. Change the version number in package.mft from 12 to 13. Save.

8. Start the game, load your save, see if Mihris is where she's supposed to be (you must have Solas in your party). If she's there, great.

    i. If the game won't load your save due to the save being created with a later version, you must go back and increase your version number again. Look at the package.mft in your merged mod folder and see what version that was, that's the number you need. This shouldn't happen, but sometimes it does.

9. If Mihris showed up, you can put your mods back. First, you need to go back to your Patch folder and change the version number in package.mft back to 12. Then you can put your merged mod folder back in the Update folder. If you deleted it, just find it in the Recycle Bin, right click and choose 'restore'. If you moved it, just cut and paste it to the Update folder. If this causes you to have issues again, it's one of your mods, if not the repair is probably what fixed it. 

10. If Mihris didn't show up in step 8, please follow the directions in this link to provide us with a dxdiag. If you can't figure out hastebin, you can attach the dxdiag text file to your post using the 'Choose File' button under the text editor.

If Mihris did show up in step 8, but didn't show up after you put your mods back in, you'll have to figure out which mod is causing the issue. That... will be tedious. We'll worry about it if it happens.

I hope that made it easier to follow. 🙂

Yeah it works. So its an issue of one of the mods.

For info I use different system, I have only one active folder with patch. So I have to change between original path and merged one. But that is only detail.

Big thanks for your help.

Do you not use the Mod Manager to merge your mods? That requires the official patch to make the merge, there's no need to remove the patch folder afterwards (the merged folder has a higher package.mft version number, so the game uses it instead of the patch). 

I know there are a few other odd mods that use something else, I've never used those or... whatever they use, though, and I don't know how well supported the program is.
